(i.) f (t) = tn
Z ∞
sin x
and hence, evaluate .
0 x
(b.) A semi-infinite solid x > 0 is initially at temperature zero at time t = 0, a constant
temperature U0 is applied and maintained at the face x = 0. Find the temperature
at any point of the solid and at any time t > 0.
(Hints: the equation governing the flow of heat in the solid is given by
∂u c2 ∂ 2 u
= x > 0, t > 0
∂t ∂x2
∂y
y(x, 0) = 0 (x, 0) = 0
∂t
y(0, t) = f (t) y(x, t) is bounded.
(c.) Using the laplace transforms, solve the initial value problem
